"I can immediately tell the difference between a farm-raised oyster and a wild one by the shell alone," says Paul Brooke of Montauk Wild Oysters Co., who leads oyster foraging experiences. “Because wild oysters tumble across the seabed with the currents, driven by the tides, wind, and swell, they develop much thicker, denser shells. Like the rings of a tree, their shells tell the story of the environmental conditions and abrasions they've survived."
“Oyster lovers will find their calling at the Montauk Wild Oysters Co., which invites seafood fans to try their hand at shucking the oceanic delicacy. With options for Oyster Shucking Masterclasses and Oyster Foraging and Snorkeling, get up close and personal with all the work that goes into one of the East Coast's favorite meals.”
